General / link errors
« on: April 04, 2022, 09:24:31 pm »
Hi -
I'm really excited about these tools, but I'm having a little getting started issue. I downloaded SFML-2.5.1-windows-vc14-32-bit from the SFML site. I'm using Visual Studio 2015 which I believe is actually running a 32 bit platform. I made a simple test case that only calls the following:
#include "SFML\Window.hpp"
#include "SFML\Graphics.hpp"
int main()
{
// Create the main window
int width = 640;
int height = 480;
sf::RenderWindow window(
sf::VideoMode(width, height), // size of the client area we want
L"hdmidisplay" // The text to appear on the window title
);
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
but I get link errors when I compile - pasted below.

I included my vcxproj. I'm linking to the debug version of the lib files, and I'm compiling for debug x64. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Do I need to compile new lib files? If so, do I download source to compile from github?
I really appreciate your help. I tried to look through the forum and tutorials as much as possible. I'm sorry to bother you with such a simple problem.
Thanks,
Anna
